Beer Dash raises $60,000 (PHOTOS)

In overcast but warm conditions, more than 200 people ran the 5km course, starting from the catchwater above Tong Fuk, down the old Tung Chung Road and then along the expanse of Cheung Sha beaches (both of them).

To ward off thirst, five refreshment stations, generously provisioned by sponsors, waylaid them.

Organiser Mel Potgeiter said this year’s event had raised more than HK$60,000. The funds will go to local animal protection groups.
